I've kinda been out of the loop for a while. I got into xda with my HD2 a few years back, and I cooked windows roms, and Ive been using android for ages now and loving it! However my screens died so I guess its time to move on. I messed about with an iphone 4s today and love it, but not sure if Im strong enough to leave android behind haha. Whats the best android phone currently, with greater specs than the 4s? ruling out the evo 3g and galaxy s2.
Cheers guys, sorry for being lazy
Have you considered waiting for the Galaxy Nexus?

THANKYOU SO MUCH! now to find the uk release date
Yeah, Galaxy Nexus all the way
Really, you'll get the best Android experience on that device.
It's Prime time with a Nexus
Guys I would like your opinion. Should I trade my s 2 for a note?? It will be a simple trade no money involved? Should I do this is the note better?
Go ask in the Note forum. How would we know ? We're SGS2 owners, remember ? #duh
If you can carry it have have large pockets and its not your primary phone, then yes
But when its your primary phone then its too big to take it everywhere and answering phone calls in public looks very weird
As no money is involved I'd say yes. It's a lovely phone if you can get used to the size. Played with it many times and it's lovely. The screen size is excellent and doesn't seem that big due to its slimness.
The s-pen is quite useful. And development seems good as well.

If I had this offer I would do it without hesitation. Its just a bigger SG2, bigger battery and its a really nice experience especially looking at web sites with the bigger screen. Plus the s pen I say do it.
i would do it, its simple - bigger screen and better resolution
You won't regret, do it. And too bad nobody asks me to trade
If you happen to you has used the large size of the Note then takes!
I would keep the S2.
Dewd if u will buy note u cnt tk it with u at all places ... Cuz its screen is to big.. N it will be hard 4 u to take it with u all the time when u go out...

That was sarcasm intended for the member who posted above him.
Anyway, I guess everyone has answered it already. Check out the Note personally and get a feel of it. If you don't mind the size and are comfortable, than definitely go for the trade.
Thanks everyone btw how do I close the thread?

Sorry my friend but i don't agree,,,,, i have both the phones and i promise u , once after using the note for a few days , i am starting to think that this is the siez a smart phone out to be of ,,,trust me the experience is just better with it ,,,
yes awsum pro ;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yes do 1t 4 u yes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I agree with most who posted here, as I have a friend who has one and am thinking of getting one myself (but want to wait couple more months to see what other new phones coming).
You have to ask yourself What you want to use it for?!
I do a few jobs and one of them is graphics design. Something like that can be useful to me, when I have an idea from out of the blue and want to do a quick mockup.
- or someone in business who answers many emails might like more space.
However - I also think the price of it is a bit high (and I'm not short on money). Here in Asia, can get myself a tab/pad for even cheaper... which will give me better use for what I need.
Hey everyone,
Just a short summary on me first and what gadgets i've owned before..
Every single iPhone, the 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, Every single iPad, 1,2,3,
The HTC TItan Windows Phone, also I have the new Lumia 900.
The original first Motoroal Droid, and the Nexus one, the LG G2x, the Samsung galaxy S2, the Motorola RAZR MAXX.
As you can see I love gadgets, I don't have an ounce of fanboy'ism in my blood period.
Android in itself actually upset me, i just got tired of all the BS...that's why I hopped around phones a lot.. i got tired of resetting them.. battery pulling..etc etc...the Sluggishness of the UI.. etc.. The SGS2 was really IMO the best Android phone out of all of them that i've ever used.. i loved it.
Now we are here to the Galaxy note... WOW..JUST WOW.. i'm blown away by this thing.. maybe it's the screen size? or the gorgeous looking screen in general?
The build quality is NOT CHEAP.. for those of you reading this.. i was worried about that looking at videos b/c it LOOKS like cheap plastic.. trust me it's not at all.. coming from the RAZR Mazz which is supposed to have a solid back? that thing was garbage compared to this build quality.. I even love the feel of the clicking on the Power Sleep button.
Software-, I used it for 2 hours out of box, and was pretty turned off.. i was thinking to myself.. oh god here we go.. So i RUSHED to the XDA forums looking for roms.. i asked around nobody really answered or helped me so i figured it out on my own.
I ended up choosing the Team perfection Objection (RC3)..
i'm BLOWN AWAY... it's so smooth and fast... EVERYTHING WORKS.. i love it..
I can honestly say this is definitely going to hold me over until the iPhone 6 gen comes out. And it might take a miracle to pull me away because i have a feeling i'm going to fall in love with the huge screen size..
Camera-, it takes GREAT pictures.. i'm sure you guys already know that.. but i just had to confirm for those still thinking about buying.. coming from an iPhone 4S i don't feel bad about this purchase at all..
All in all.. my only frustration is that i don't have an LTE signal yet where i live... it's frustrating b/c it's literally 10 miles down the road! I could literally travel down the road and it picks up... it's also not where I work... =-( I hope ATT gets it's act together.

The iphone seems like a toy now in comparison to the note.

Everything feels like a toy compared to the Note. My Infuse has a 4.5 inch screen which not so long ago was a monster phone, and now that just feels silly to use. Haha.

Imagine how I feel, I'm coming from my old trusty HD2 running Android... Been holding out for the longest and yes I'm happy I did. When I first purchased the HD2 I was amazed at the size.... Now with the Note, I think I purposely walk around with it in my hand so that everyone could see it. I kind of look forward to hearing comment like "Damn thats a big ass phone! What is it a tablet?". I think thats what get me through the day.... Can't wait till the devs get the official ICS for i717!!!
I really need to root this thing. Had it about a week, switching from Sprint, so we are trying it and ATT out for a bit to see if we want to leave sprint. And I have to say as the phone stands out of the box it's good. But other then the screen it didn't blow me away. But I have a feeling once I start flashing roms its gonna be great.
Not sure i could even entertain the idea of going back to a 4 inch screen iPhone 5 = FAIL

Dude use the Team perfection objection rom... omg... i'm freaking loving it.
As of right now the best rom for the galaxy note is Flappjaxxx's. I've tried 5 of the top roms here and his is BY FAR the smoothest and most reliable..not one single force close on any app and everything works!

imagine how I feel! I went from the note to the iPhone 4s! lol
I wanted Siri... hehe As soon as the Note has an official Samsung released ICS ROM, I'll switch back, or might end up with the gs3.

I'm sorry ....are you serious?! You switched to an inferior device for the sole reason of an app? You know we have voice command and s voice on our ICS roms right?

That is subject to personal preference but Flappjaxxx's rom is superb. No question about that.

What's the difference between Flappjaxxx's rom and Team perfection's objection?
I certainly love my Note and I get random glances and questions that I never got with any other phone. With that said, am I the only one irritated with people callimg it a tablet?

Same here... I was using a Samsung Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket and that's no small device. My wife has the same phone. When I hold it in my hand it feels tiny. At this point, the iPhone is a joke. A fragile device with little ability to customize and a tiny screen. No thanks. I know several people who left Apple because the iPhone is archaic and they don't regret it.
Hi guys, i had posted this on General and never got a response so posting on the Q&A.
The question i have, more like need input to help me decide, currently i am using a Nexus One and its time i upgrade, I was hoping to land a Nexus 4 but with the way the PlayStore kept giving delays i see no hope of getting one soon unless i pay more and buy from eBay, Therefore i am thinking should i just go for the Galaxy Nexus or which other model would you recommend? My price range is Max 400$, unlocked and which i can play around with it by flashing new ROM's and enjoy the open source of Android.
Thanks in-advance
S3, note2 ( sorry I dunno how much they wud cost there)

One X, galaxy Nexus?
Or if u could find some good deals for s3 by googling around .
life!
Well I have been having alot of problems with my X2 lately (memory glitches, battery not charging) and yesterday was the end and the thing wouldent even turn on. I was in the process of porting pac man rom when all this happened and im not going to get another X2. I just wanted to say how great of a community this x2 forum was and especially great that this was my first time on XDA. My plan now is that i am probably going to make use of my mothers old Samsung Facinate. I hope their page is as good as ours. Bye Guys!
its been nice having you a part of our forums for so long sir! thanks for hanging in there with us on one NIGHTMARE of a phone. best of luck to ya !
I saw that someone got 4.2 on their droid running, thats awsome. I hardbricked my samsung facinate the second day i got it. Im looking on ebay for a nice galaxy nexus and calling it a phone for a year or so. Good Luck!

I had my problems in ODIN just trying to flash my facinate to stock, smh

Good luck with your future endeavors
